I've been able to regenerate the PAM doc with lynx instead of w3m: it needs a
sed to configure:
sed -e 's/dummy links/dummy lynx/' \
-e 's/-no-numbering -no-references/-force-html -stdin/' \
-i configure
then remove the -no-regenerate-documentation switch from configure invocation.
and the doc is regenerated (provided you have xsltproc, libxml2, docbook, and
lynx).
